Scott Aukerman
1970 (54 года)Raised on a diet of punchlines and pop culture references, Scott's comedic genius emerged from the primordial soup of late-night TV watching marathons of old sitcoms and sketch comedy shows. Armed with a wit as sharp as a well-honed butter knife, he conquered the world of comedy like a mad scientist concocting the perfect joke in his lab.
With a podcast empire that could rival an overzealous monarch's reign, Scott pioneered the world of improvised comedy podcasts, where the bizarre meets the brilliant, and spontaneity reigns supreme. His shows are a delightful rollercoaster ride through the absurd, complete with hilarious characters and offbeat humour that's a sanctuary for the eccentric and a refuge for the wonderfully weird.
Scott Aukerman, the comedic maestro with a penchant for the peculiar, continues to captivate audiences with his infectious humour, proving that in this crazy world, laughter truly is the best medicine—preferably taken in large doses, delivered by a master jokester like Scott.
Scott is married to actress, former girlfriend, and fellow podcaster Kulap Vilaysack. The couple are proud parents to a nepo-baby named Emerald and two dogs, Georgia Michaela and Molly Ringwald.

Origin Story
Kulap Vilaysack
Kulap Vilaysack, Scott Aukerman
When Kulap Vilaysack was 14, she took her father's side in an argument and her mother replied, "Why are you defending him? He's not your real dad." Twenty years later, she's finally ready to learn what that means. ORIGIN STORY is a feature-length, international quest with stops in Los Angeles, Minnesota, and Laos to meet the biological father she never knew. On the road, unforeseen revelations strike as hilarious or heartbreaking, rarely in between. An avid comic book reader with a vigilante character named after her in the DC Comics universe, she must summon the courage of Katharsis, because each question is another step out on a limb. ORIGIN STORY is a deeply personal but universally relevant tale of immigration, conflict, addiction, and personal responsibility. Interviewees in the film include extended family, husband Scott Aukerman, and close friends, like Sarah Silverman, Casey Wilson, June Diane Raphael and Howard Kremer.

That Darn Punk

The straight-to-video feature That Darn Punk was produced by a new film division of the Kung Fu record label, and its soundtrack features a number of punk-pop bands, some of whom are, naturally, signed to the label. Several songs were recorded especially for the film by bands like Nerf Herder, No Motiv, and the Vandals, while much of the material recorded by the label's own roster is exclusive to the soundtrack or at least previously unissued. Plus, there are a few cuts licensed from bands like Pennywise, Rancid, and Lagwagon.

I Am Comic
Jordan Brady
Ahmed Ahmed, Franklyn Ajaye
Through unprecedented backstage access and candid interviews, the film weaves through the absurd world of the working comedian and reveals a crazy and hilarious psychological profile of its practitioners. We also follow retired comic Ritch Shydner's attempt to climb back on stage after a thirteen-year hiatus. At the top of his game in the 1980's, Shydner had HBO specials, shot five pilot TV shows, and numerous late night appearances (Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc.) but the big time eluded him. Equipped with the collective wisdom and nutty musings of over 80 of his peers, he gives it another shot. Does Ritch have what it takes to connect with today's young crowds and still get the laughs?
